The IEP can look finished and still need clearer details.
The paraprofessional or aide-support record can look official while still leaving out the details a parent needs to understand what the school is promising, refusing, or measuring.
The free audit checks the language in the actual IEP against the student's documented needs so you can focus on the pages and questions that matter most.
Start with the situation you are actually in.
Choose this review when the plan sounds official but the goals, services, progress reporting, or parent concerns may not be written clearly enough to follow. This page helps narrow the review so your next written question is specific, document-based, and easier for the team to answer.
This page is for preparing clearer school questions, not for deciding legal claims. The strongest next step is usually a specific written request tied to the IEP page and the data behind it.
The audit can review the IEP pages you include.
It does not stop at one concern or a short checklist. When the relevant pages are included, the audit reviews major IEP sections for unclear language, missing context, documentation gaps, and issues that may deserve a written question.
Evaluations and Present Levels
Check that the IEP describes the student's needs, strengths, baseline data, and current performance.
Goals and Progress Monitoring
Confirm goals are measurable, tied to documented needs, and supported by clear progress-reporting methods.
Services and Accommodations
Look for supports that are individualized, specific enough to follow, and clear about provider, frequency, duration, and setting.
Placement and Access
Review how the plan addresses classroom access, least restrictive environment, behavior, communication, and related-service needs.
Parent Concerns and Team Decisions
Make sure parent input, school refusals, Prior Written Notice, and important meeting decisions are documented clearly.
Procedure Questions to Verify
Identify notice, timeline, refusal, or vague-commitment questions that may need local verification before a parent relies on them.
What this review pays attention to
Along with the included IEP pages above, the audit pays special attention to these issues that may be relevant to this concern. These are examples of extra scrutiny, not the limits of the review.
Check if aide duties, settings, schedule, supervision, training, and substitutes are clear.
Confirm support preserves access and independence rather than creating unnecessary adult dependence.
Look for records showing the record shows when support was provided and what school tasks required it.
Make sure the team has data for increasing, fading, changing, or refusing aide support.
A useful result points to a record, not a panic spiral.
This is the kind of parent-facing output the page is built around: a specific IEP section, the reason it deserves review, and one calm next step before any broader escalation.
Finding
Aide support is too broad to verify
Evidence to check
The IEP says paraprofessional support as needed, but does not specify settings, duties, schedule, training, or how independence will be tracked.
Parent-safe next step
Ask for aide-support language that names duties, settings, documentation, and review data.
Upload only the records needed for this concern.
You do not need a perfect binder or every school record. Start with the current IEP pages tied to the issue, then add only the few records that explain the concern most clearly.
paraprofessional support service page
Upload the IEP page showing paraprofessional support frequency, duration, setting, provider, group size if listed, and start date.
Delivery or attendance record
Add service logs, provider notes, schedule records, make-up notes, or school emails tied to paraprofessional support.
Progress data
Include the progress report or work sample that shows if missed, reduced, or unclear services affected the goal.
First written request
"Please clarify the paraprofessional support duties, settings, schedule, supervision, substitute coverage, training, and the data the team will use to review independence and access."
Ask one question the team can answer.
"What exact school tasks require aide support, and what record shows if that support is working?"
Get clearer questions from your actual IEP.
You do not need to compare every page to a checklist. Upload the relevant pages and let the audit help organize sections that may need clarification, weak language, or possible next questions.
Check the IEP LanguageWhat you get from the audit
The result is a prioritized review of the document, not another generic article.
Check the written commitment
The audit looks for missing provider, frequency, duration, setting, baseline, or progress-reporting details.
Tie concerns to records
It keeps the focus on IEP pages, evaluations, service records, progress data, and written decisions.
Prepare one safer question
The result helps parents ask for clarification without turning a document issue into a broad legal claim.
Check if the paraprofessional or aide-support record is specific enough for a parent to understand and the team to implement.
Which IEP page, evaluation, progress report, service log, or school notice should be checked first.
Which missing detail should become the first written question.
Which legal, deadline, consent, or state-specific issue should be verified before relying on the page.
How the free audit works
Upload the IEP you want checked
Use the current document from the school. You do not need to highlight it, organize it, or know which section is wrong first.
The audit reviews the pages you upload
When those pages are included, it reviews goals, services, accommodations, progress monitoring, parent concerns, and procedure questions for unclear language or missing context.
Get prioritized findings
See which sections may need review first, which page to ask about, and what to raise with the school.
Reasons parents run this audit
If any of these sound familiar, the written IEP deserves a closer look.
The IEP says adult support but no role, setting, or schedule is clear.
Ask what the aide does, when support applies, and who supervises implementation.
The aide is used as a catch-all instead of specific accommodations, instruction, or behavior support.
Ask which needs require aide support and which need other IEP changes.
Support is changed or faded without data.
Ask what independence or access data supports the change.
You do not have to sort through the IEP by yourself.
Start with the concern. When you want document-specific help, upload only the relevant IEP pages and the few records that explain the issue.
